Conditions at Bucerias in September
September: The Wildcard Month
September is the peak of the wet season and arguably the highest-ceiling month for surf size at Bucerias. The average height sits at 3.5ft (1.1m), the period at 13.0s, and the swell direction still arrives mostly from the SSW/SW, with an increasing WSW share. There is a higher percentage of 1.5-2.5m (5-8ft) surf than any of the previous summer months, especially from tropical systems spinning off the Mexican coast.
But the weather is a beast. Rain averages 11.26mm/day, humidity is extreme, and water temperature is a balmy 30.4°C. Ideal winds are about 62 percent, but when tropical storms or hurricanes are in the vicinity, southerly winds and storm surf go hand in hand. If you get lucky with a well-positioned cyclone that stays far enough offshore, the long-period SSW/SW swell can produce some of the most powerful, sectiony waves of the year - just don't plan around it.
